This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/151,607, filed Feb. 11, 2009. This application also claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to French Patent Application No. 0858889, filed Dec. 19, 2009.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for dyeing or lightening human keratin fibers, comprising, besides at least one oxidizing agent, a high content of fatty substances and at least one silicate. The disclosure also relates to a dyeing or lightening process using it and to multi-compartment devices or kits.

Among the methods for dyeing human keratin fibers, such as the hair, exemplary mention may be made of oxidation dyeing or permanent dyeing. For example, this dyeing method uses at least one oxidation dye, usually at least one oxidation base optionally combined with at least one coupler.

In general, oxidation bases may be chosen from ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases may be colorless or weakly colored compounds, which, when combined with oxidizing products, may give access to colored species.

The shades obtained with these oxidation bases are often varied by combining them with at least one coupler, the at least one coupler being chosen, for example, from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.

The variety of molecules that may be used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colors to be obtained.

It is also possible to add to these compositions direct dyes, which are colored and coloring molecules that have affinity for fibers. The direct dyes generally used may be chosen from nitrobenzene, anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, methine, azomethine, xanthene, acridine, azine and triarylmethane direct dyes. The presence of such compounds may enable the obtained coloration to be further enriched with tints or may enable the chromaticity of the obtained coloration to be increased.

Oxidation dyeing processes thus may consist in using with these dye compositions a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The role of this oxidizing agent is to reveal the coloration, via an oxidative condensation reaction between the oxidation dyes.

It is desired that the oxidation dye should moreover satisfy at least one of a certain number of requirements. Thus, it should be free of toxicological drawbacks, it should enable shades to be obtained in the desired intensity and/or it should show the resistance to external attacking factors such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent waving, or aspiration and rubbing.

The dyes may also be able to cover grey hair and, finally, they should be as unselective as possible, i.e. they should produce the smallest possible color differences along the same keratin fiber, which generally comprises areas that are differently sensitized (i.e. damaged) from its end to its root.

Many attempts have been made in the field of hair dyeing in order to improve the dyeing properties, for example using adjuvants. However, the choice of these adjuvants is difficult insofar as they should improve the dyeing properties of dye compositions without harming the other properties of these compositions. For example, these adjuvants should not harm the keratin fiber-lightening properties and the dye application properties.

As regards processes for lightening keratin fibers, use may be made of aqueous compositions comprising at least one oxidizing agent, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The role of this oxidizing agent is to degrade the melanin of the hair, which, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent present, may lead to more or less pronounced lightening of the fibers.

One of the difficulties arises from the fact that lightening processes are performed under alkaline conditions and that the alkaline agent most commonly used is ammonia. The use of this compound may be frequent, since it not only enables adjustment of the pH to allow activation of the oxidizing agent, but also causes swelling of the fiber, with opening of the scales, which may promote penetration of the oxidizing agent and may increases the efficacy of the reaction. However, this basifying agent is very volatile, which may make it necessary to use it in relatively large amounts to compensate for the losses, the consequence of which is the inconvenience caused by the characteristic odor of this compound.

Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure is to obtain compositions for the dyeing, such as the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers, which do not have at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.

For example, one of the aims of the present disclosure is to obtain compositions for the dyeing, such as the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers, with improved dyeing properties, which can achieve the desired lightening and which are easy to mix and to apply, and which may not run but may remain localized at the point of application. The term “improved dyeing properties” is understood to mean an improvement in the power/intensity, chromaticity and/or uniformity of the dyeing result.

Another aspect of the present disclosure is to propose keratin fiber-lightening compositions that do not have at least one of the drawbacks of those used with the existing compositions, these drawbacks being caused by the presence of large amounts of ammonia, and which may remain at least as efficient as regards the lightening and the uniformity of this lightening.

These aims and others may be achieved by the present disclosure, one aspect of which is thus a composition for dyeing or lightening human keratin fibers, comprising,

a cosmetically acceptable medium;

at least 25% by weight of at least one fatty substance;

from 0.1% to 15% by weight of at least one silicate chosen from smectite, vermiculite, stevensite and chlorite clays;

The composition may also, for example, contain various adjuvants conventionally used in hair dye compositions, such as anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic polymers or mixtures thereof; antioxidants; penetrants; sequestrants; fragrances; dispersants; film-forming agents; ceramides; preserving agents; opacifiers.

The above adjuvants may, for example, be present in an amount for each of them ranging from 0.01% to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

For example, the composition may comprise at least one fumed silica.

The at least one fumed silica may be obtained by high-temperature hydrolysis of a volatile silicon compound in an oxhydric flame, producing a finely divided silica. This process may make it possible, for example, to obtain hydrophilic silicas having a large number of silanol groups at their surface. Such hydrophilic silicas are sold, for example, under the names AEROSIL 130®, AEROSIL 200®, AEROSIL 255®, AEROSIL 300® and AEROSIL 380® by the company Degussa, and CAB-O-SIL HS-5®, CAB-O-SIL EH-5®, CAB-O-SIL LM-130®, CAB-O-SIL MS-55® and CAB-O-SIL M-5® by the company Cabot.

It is possible to chemically modify the surface of the ilica, via a chemical reaction generating a reduction in the number of silanol groups. It is, for example, possible to substitute silanol groups with hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is then obtained.

The hydrophobic groups may be, for example:

trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtained especially by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are known as “silica silylate” according to the CTFA (6th Edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references AEROSIL R812® by the company Degussa and CAB-O-SIL TS-530® by the company Cabot;

dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained, for example, by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated are known as “silica dimethyl silylate” according to the CTFA (6th Edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references AEROSIL R972® and AEROSIL R974® by the company Degussa and CAB-O-SIL TS-610 ® and CAB-O-SIL TS-720® by the company Cabot.

In at least one embodiment, he at least one fumed silica has a particle size ranging from nanometric to micrometric, for example ranging from 5 to 200 nm.
